Singapore's MPA launches maritime career portal

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore Ceo BG (NS) Tay Lim Heng launched a one-stop job portal Maritimecareers.com.sg, at the quarterly NetworkONE Reception for the maritime community yesterday.

The portal, which is an initiative under MaritimeONE (Outreach Network), is designed to support Singapore's rapid growth as an international maritime centre. It effectively performs the role of an on line job match maker that operates 24/7, promoting maritime careers and education, bringing prospective employers and employees together, and featuring jobs spanning all three maritime sectors: shorebased maritime services, offshore and marine engineering, and seafaring.
“The launch of this new maritime career portal marries the growing interest among our youth in the maritime sector and the industry's need for quality manpower to fuel the rapid growth of Singapore as an international maritime centre,” said Tay. “By leveraging on the internet, the job match-making can be effected around the clock.” S.S.
